Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg white with the water until frothy. Add vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
Add the almonds to the egg white mixture and stir until the almonds are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture onto the almonds. Stir until all the almonds are fully coated with the sugar and spice mixture.
Spread the coated almonds into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even roasting.
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The sugar coating will harden as the almonds cool.
Once cool, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy!
